Institutions vary on their pet policies for live in or live on staff. This page is aimed at providing some useful information about policies at various institutions. In addition to reading the posts from the listserves that I've put here, be sure to check out Rich Horowitz's Live in/on Report. It's a pretty amazing collection of research on institutions. In addition to pet policies, you'll find everything from salaries to professional development information.

Rich Horowitz also compiled several pet policies and proposals and submitted them to be posted on the site. He is an excellent person to contact for assistance on this topic. Here are some samples he provided:
